“Director Elizabeth Margolius, who is active across Chicago’s theatrical scene, could hardly have been more in tune with this story in her brilliant, subtle staging.”

“Director Elizabeth Margolius uses an exquisite eye to move this talented cast as an ensemble on the bare bones inside-a-barrel set, which you too will likely consider brilliant in its simplicity by show’s end.”

Queen of the Mist, Firebrand Theatre
“Stage director Elizabeth Margolius provided a seminar in how to stage a difficult opera in concert.”

“It has a fascinating sculptural feel to it, and Margolius has ingeniously ‘choreographed’ her actors to make full use of it.”
Hedy Weiss, Chicago Sun-Times

“Margolius’s work is the pulsing, persistent backbeat that drives the production forward. She renders the script’s expressionist flourishes down into substance and strikingly evokes the panic and horror of the protagonist’s inner life.”
Alex Huntsberger, TimeOut Chicago
Machinal, Greenhouse Theatre
“That brightly lighted display of public affection is among director Elizabeth Margolius’s many ingeniously staged moments in Fish Creek’s Peninsula Players Theatre production…”
Mike Fischer, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
The Bridges of Madison County, Peninsula Players
